Bard/Thief Multiclass

Post by keeB »

Possible with gatekeeper? That would be quite cool. Since they both need high dex, and their stat system would be something close to the same.. im just thinking of the backstab capabilities of a thief, with the pickpocket/etc with bard. ideas? :)

Thieves also get pickpocket, so the only addition would be the bard song. But i think its possible with Gatekeeper, yes.

Back stab and spells like improved invis from barb would own, just like using mislead with a fighter/mage/thief in SoA, then backstab them multiple times without being seen. :D

There is no muliticlass available with Bard so it isn't technically possible. But you could fake it by making a multi-class Mage/Thief and increasing the Lore in Gatekeeper.

The only thing missing then would be the bardsong, which is pretty useless in my opinion. However, if you really feel the need for it, I believe it has the same effects as the Luck spell. I think it would be possible to assign this in the Inate Abilities slot, but I have never tried this. It would work with Shadowkeeper (the BG2 version of Gatekeeper) but I don't know Gatekeeper as well.
